I have been writing since I was eleven years old. I write fictional stories, plays, poems, and novels. I won an honorable mention in a young playwright contest and had a poem published in an anthology. The Time Stone, my first novel and breakthrough novel, is published on www.lulu.com in print and on www.smashwords.com in electronic book format. I envision this to be the first novel in a series.
